This is the latest addition to a group of handbooks covering the
field of morphology, alongside The Oxford Handbook of Case (2008),
The Oxford Handbook of Compounding (2009), and The Oxford Handbook
of Derivational Morphology (2014). It provides a comprehensive
state-of-the-art overview of work on inflection - the expression of
grammatical information through changes in word forms. The volume's
24 chapters are written by experts in the field from a variety of
theoretical backgrounds, with examples drawn from a wide range of
languages. The first part of the handbook covers the fundamental
building blocks of inflectional form and content: morphemes,
features, and means of exponence. Part 2 focuses on what is
arguably the most characteristic property of inflectional systems,
paradigmatic structure, and the non-trivial nature of the mapping
between function and form. The third part deals with change and
variation over time, and the fourth part covers computational
issues from a theoretical and practical standpoint. Part 5
addresses psycholinguistic questions relating to language
acquisition and neurocognitive disorders. The final part is devoted
to sketches of individual inflectional systems, illustrating a
range of typological possibilities across a genetically diverse set
of languages from Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Australia, Europe,
and South America.
